The NaradaBrokering project is a research
effort in the area of large-scale distributed streaming systems at the
Community Grids Lab at
Indiana University. Research in NaradaBrokering has been funded
through grants from the US National Science Foundation, the US Department of
Energy, and the United
Kingdom’s Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute, which is part of the
UK e-Science programme.

NaradaBrokering is a content distribution
infrastructure, and enables the development of secure, failure-resilient
systems. The NaradaBrokering substrate itself comprises a distributed
network of cooperating broker nodes. Since NaradaBrokering is
application-independent, it has been harnessed in a variety of domains. The substrate places no constraints
either on the size,
rate and scope of the data encapsulated within the streams, or
on the number of entities within the system. Some of the salient
features in NaradaBrokering include:

The NaradaBrokering
software is available for download, and is governed by the
IU RTC license. We plan to have 2 major releases every
year, with intermediate minor releases adding functionality to the
aforementioned major releases.
